DuPont, a global Fortune 500 leader in science and innovation, faced a complex and fragmented IT landscape after years of mergers, divestitures, and organizational change. The challenges of maintaining 17 separate legacy SAP systems, primarily for compliance purposes, were becoming unsustainable. The operational costs involved in supporting these obsolete systems were escalating, systems faced increased cybersecurity exposure, outdated hardware was causing energy inefficiencies, new global compliance requirements needed to be met, and the amount of technical debt had resulted in an overall lack of IT agility. To address these challenges, DuPont launched a bold initiative: retire all 17 legacy SAP systems and archive more than 50 terabytes of historical data, including hundreds of ADK and archival files, without compromising compliance, auditability, or business continuity. Together with Accenture and powered by JiVS Information Management Platform (IMP) from Data Migration International, the company achieved results few believed possible. This ERP Today live session will cover how DuPont were able to substantially reduce IT costs by decommissioning legacy infrastructure, eliminate compliance and cybersecurity risks with audit-proof access to historical data, streamline global system architecture, reduce complexity, and eliminate technical debt. Despite the goals, the entire project was completed in just 12 months, an industry-record timeline for a project of this scale. In addition, the project delivered significant gains in energy efficiency in support of ESG targets. By attending this session, you will be able to: Identify the financial, compliance, and cybersecurity risks associated with continuing to run outdated SAP ECC systems. Explain how legacy system retirement can reduce IT operating costs by up to 80% while maintaining audit-proof data access. Describe the key steps and best practices in executing a large-scale SAP system decommissioning project without disrupting business operations. Assess how a platform-based approach like JiVS IMP can simplify IT landscapes and support long-term data governance and ESG goals.
